This year will bring us the sequel to 2006's 'Tazza: The High Rollers'. The original, directed by Choi Dong-hoon who brought us 'The Thieves', see's the reigns being handed over to Kang Hyeong-cheol, who previously directed the comedies 'Speedy Scandal' & 'Sunny'.
While it looks like the sequel has both Yoo Hae-jin & Kim Yoon-seok back on board from the original, lead actor Jo Seung-woo is replaced by Big Bang member Choi Seung-hyeon (who has thankfully dropped using his Big Bang alias, T.O.P., and was most recently seen in 'The Commitment'). There's also no sign of Kim Hye-soo in the follow up which is a shame.
Without the direction of Dong-hoon I don't have high hopes for this, and the trailer doesn't particularly excite either. Korea usually doesn't fare well with sequels, 'Friend 2' being the most recent example, but we'll see how it looks once the reviews come in after its release in September. In the meantime, for those who haven't seen it, 'Tazza: The High Rollers' is a classic and well worth a watch.
